>> Misery as flights face being grounded
>> UK, Spain, Turkey &Greece all targets
JUST Stop Oil activists are plotting to cause summer misery for thousands of holidaymakers.
The environmental group plans to wreak havoc at airports here and across Europe from mid-June.
Protesters will halt flights by storming terminal buildings, gluing themselves to runways and clambering onto jets in tourist hotspots like Spain, Greece and Turkey.
It means travellers will likely face agonising delays here while those lucky enough to take off could be forced to wait hours on the runway on the other side.
Last night, MPs and travel experts accused the group of "shooting itself in the foot" by causing misery and risking lives.
Our undercover reporter learned of the plot at a meeting attended by some 50 hardcore activists.
Just Stop Oil's so-called poster girl, Phoebe Plummer, was greeted by roars as she announced "disruption on a scale that has never been seen before". She added: "The most exciting part of this plan is that [it's] going to be part of an international effort.
"Flights operate on such a tight schedule to control air traffic that with action being caused in cities all around the world we're talking about radical, unignorable disruption."
Privately educated Plummer, who grew up in London's posh Chelsea, has been arrested for a string of disturbances that include throwing soup at a Vincent van Gogh painting in the National Gallery.
